JOBS PAC:
Political Action Committee

What is the JOBS PAC?

The Greater Memphis Chamber created the JOBS PAC to support those candidates for state and local elected offices who promote programs and policies that create jobs and facilitate economic growth in our community.

A committee of the JOBS PAC evaluates candidates by conducting in-person interviews and reviewing responses to written questionnaires to determine the alignment of candidate positions with the Chamber’s pro-business agenda. Through this evaluation process, the JOBS PAC is able to ascertain candidate views on policies and programs that benefit GMC members, as well as on those that may be impediments to business growth and success.

Why is it important that I support the JOBS PAC?

Decisions made by our elected officials have a direct impact on the success of businesses. The JOBS PAC supports candidates who are committed to advancing policy that attracts investment, creates and retains jobs, and improves the quality of life in our community. A well-funded PAC is necessary in order to fully engage in this effort to elect business friendly candidates to state and local office.
